I came to the Adventurer's Guild.
　But I didn't even know how to take requests.
　The memories of the time my parents took me with them had completely faded away.

　Basically, you can't accept a request until you've been given a divine weapon and a profession.
　That's why I never visited this place.
　I was also busy helping out at the inn.

'Excuse me, Mea. I've never been an adventurer before, so I don't know what to expect at all.''
Oh, is that right?
'Yes. I usually only hunt goblins by myself, so...
'Well, then, it's no use. Why don't I teach you a lesson?

　With a thud, she taps her chest.
　As she does so, her chest shakes slightly.

　After walking around the guild for a while, I noticed that the adventurers were glancing at Mea-san.
　The adventurers who were looking at Mea-san huffed and loosened their mouths, then approached us.

I'm sure you're not the only one. What's that?
".........

　A man called out to Mr. Mair in a familiar manner.
　However, Mea-san tried to ignore it and started to walk away.

　The adventurers who had called out to him earlier stood in front of Mea-san.

'....Can you please get out of the way?
"Oh, come on, you can't talk to me like that, can you?　You don't want to get demoted to F-rated, do you?

　The adventurers smirked at the adventurers, and Mair reacted with a twitch.
　It's a good idea to have a good time.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find the right one for you.
　These men might be organizing a party.
　A skinhead at the front of the party, presumably the leader of the party, glanced at us.

'You're young. Didn't that guy over there just finish the oracle ceremony?
Yes, but...
Are you really going to invite this guy to do one last job for you?　Even if you don't want to get demoted, isn't that the end of the line for you?
Even if we don't get demoted, isn't that the end of it?

　Mr. Mair pursed his lips together.
　The man chuckled and moved his face closer to Mair's. "I'm not going to say anything bad, okay?

"Would you like to have a party with us?　You're going to have a party with us.　I'm going to show you what being an adventurer is all about.

　The man huffs and smiles.
　.........What a bad mouth, but a good person.

''Of course, you'll have to do a lot of service for me over there, though!

　He was a clean-cut, lowlife bastard.
　The men grinned and twisted their mouths.

　Mea's lips were quivering as she stared at the men.
　I quickly grabbed Mea's hand.

'Mea-san is having a party with me. Can you just mind your own business?
"....What's up with you. You are a novice who just received the oracle, right?
I do. So what does it matter?
Don't get in the way, kid. Don't get in the way.

　The man reached out his arm towards me and I grabbed his wrist.



　A man tried to unwind it with all his strength.
　.........As expected, I'm losing strength?　I thought so, but--.

What's this guy's strength!

　The man flailed about, but he didn't feel any power at all.
　　It's enough to make you wonder if he's doing it on purpose.

　If not on purpose, it might be the effect of the equipment I'm wearing.
　I have a total of five S-ranked body-strengthening abilities. The effects of the skills are duplicated.
　It's not like they all strengthen the same amount, though.

　The man fired a kick at me.
　It was an unexpected move, but I was able to let go and avoid it.

　These guys are senior adventurers!　I don't want to be taken for a fool!
Didn't you suck up to me in the first place?

　I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this.
　The adventurers around them do not stop seeing us.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find it.

''Oh dear!
This one's going to be fun!　Which one do you want to bet on?
Well, of course, it's Boonsue, right?　He got ranked "C" last time.
Well, I'm gonna give the kid a run for his money. He's the most aggressive adventurer I've ever seen.
"beat up on the smart-ass rookie, Bunsue!
"Hey, kid, you can do it!　It's costing me my lunch money!

　He is laughing at us, looking at us with a cynical smile.
　It's a good idea to have a good time with them.

　It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them.
　Bunsuet clenches his fists and then glares at me.

'You wanna apologize, now's the time, okay?
''Then why don't you apologize to Mea first?　If you do, I'll apologize for my actions towards you.

　He also thinks it's bad, only that he suddenly grabbed his wrist up.
　However, Bunsuet laughs and sticks out his tongue.

''What, you have something to apologize for?　Senior students instruct their juniors. On top of that, juniors serve their seniors, there's nothing wrong with that?　That's what happens in many places, not just adventurers, kid.
I didn't know those places existed.
I don't know anything about it.
I don't need to know that.

　Bunsuet raised his eyebrows once and then jumped towards us.
　......... late.
　I completely saw his move through.

　I dodged to the left just in time to hook his leg.
　Bunsuet rolled out of his face with a flourish.
　He hit his face on the ground and he glared at me.


''I was moving too slowly.
''........Screw you!''

　Bunsuet jumps at me again, but I hook my leg as well as I did before.
　Boonsue, who had rolled over with a flourish, staggered up.

　Bunsuet had both eyes wide open.

'Ugh, a lie..... Oh, you can move faster than me.........
You finished?
Don't lick it!　They've been adventurers for ten years...!

　Bunsuet shouted and shook his fist in the air.
　.........Apparently, I'm at least stronger than this C-rank adventurer.

　It's probably because I have a large amount of skills in my equipment.
　........I could dodge just like before, but that doesn't seem to be enough to show the difference in power.

　I catch Bunsuet's fist with one hand.
　Then, I exert my strength to clench his fist.

"Gah!　Sir, please let go of me!
Would you stop messing around with Mare, then?
Uh-uh!　I won't!　I won't!
I see...

　I let go of his hand quickly and Bunsuet leaves, his body trembling.
　His friends look at me as if they are seeing something horrible.

Do you need anything else?
... nothing, sir.

　They walked away from the place, leaving only those words behind.

''Oh!　Wow!
"The little bastard won!
"Even though Bunsuet didn't use his divine artifacts, he still managed to defeat them head on!

　There's a lot of noise around.
　I don't look at them, I look at Mea.
　I'm sure you're not the only one.

Mr. Mea. I'm sorry, I couldn't make you apologize.
No, no, no, no. Thank you.

　Her dog ears were twitching happily.

''Mea-san, I'm sorry. Can you teach me how to accept a request or something?
'Yes.........'

　Mea made me smile, so that was good for now.
